Detroit, MI - Bert's Market Place; This is straight up BBQ. You start walking through Eastern Market and you first get this smell of, "oh, someone is BBQ'ing".  Continue walking and ask yourself, what's that crowd up ahead?  Next you can see the grill with slab after slab of ribs. You know you found a serious BBQ going on.

The only unorganized part of the whole experience is, where is the line, do I stand here or there, and getting your food, well, you'll just about ask the same questions. You may have an additional question of, why did they get their food before I did, the you'll ask it again when the next person gets their food and you still haven't.  Then you'll have to ask, what's going on with my order, oh, it's coming right up.  So, stay on top of this.

Now you finally received your food. It's good...very good. Wonderfully tender, dunked in a tangy BBQ sauce, falling off the bone fairly easily.  They offer smaller sandwich orders as well so you're not stuck eating a full or half rack.

Bert's is a staple of Eastern Market and I would love to stop and pick up a few ribs every time I'm there.
